“Swallowing Up Time With Eternity”
Jesus said: It is the Spirit that quickens; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you - they are full of the Spirit and life."
This video was sparked by a writing from the soul of Bob Holmes.
I am learning more as I get older about how to not just gain spiritual knowledge intellectual on an intellectual level, but what it means to "be quickened" by the knowledge IN my spirit. And I am seeing that there is a huge difference.
So in this video I share a short reading from Bob Holmes; as well as talk a little bit about how I am starting to recognize the quickening and the embodiment of these inspiring truths of God. It feels like being "broken open" at deeper and deeper levels...until who I "thought" I was disappears. It is like the "old me" that was filled with such limited knowledge and understanding, is swallowed up in eternity -- swallowed up in a victory that I didn't even have to fight to achieve.
It is hard to articulate, but what I find happening as I surrender to this Love of God is that it is easier to see Christ dwelling in others, easier to be moved with compassion rather than judgement, easier to keep my opinions to myself and listen to the thoughts and stories of others (including those who are very different than me).
My mind and body are far less triggered by the external things that once caused me to ruminate, fret and worry either about myself, my loved ones, the state of our country, the state of our world, etc. It is Love that covers ALL, and resting in this Love that keeps me centered in a place of peace; in a place of what I call "contemplative action". Actions that lead to peace, to mercy, to forgiveness, to truth and justice, and to walking humbly with my God and others.
May we each live "full of the Spirit and life." - Amen

This is one of the most beautiful translations of the Lord's Prayer that I have ever heard. May your soul awaken as the the words sink deep into every fiber of your being and bring peace, light and love in transformational ways. May your soul be healed, and motivated to live in the freedom of God's abiding love in every situation. The words I share in this video come from a meditation I like to...
Awe and Wonder of God 7-21-24
Переглядів 89Місяць тому
Learning to live in awe and wonder totally changed my life! Totally!and continues to do so! I didn't realize how much I lived “according to my own understanding,” until I stepped into the awe and wonder of Life itself (and yes, that is Life with a capital "L"). Oh how I wish I could adequately verbalize this transformation within my soul that has happened....and is continuing to unfold. Awe and...
Obstacle or Opportunity? Wise words from Wayne Dyer

“If you believe things will work out you will see opportunities. If you believe things won’t work out you will see obstacles.” That is a quote by Wayne Dyer. I am preaching to myself today! Believe me when I say it takes deliberate intention to break old thought patterns, and to train our brains to make new neuropathways that enable us to see opportunities where once we only saw obstacles. St. ...

      Thank you for your response. Though we have never met, I pray you will experience that tangible love and presence of God in your life, perhaps in ways you never expected. Your journey may not look like Henri Nouwen's since we each have our own pilgrimage. I do hope that just as reading about Henri's life and spiritual journey helped awaken something deep within me helping me see and listen for this Divine Love in new ways, that it will help you as well. May your soul find rest and healing in this Love that holds you, even now.
